Zoning Board of Appeals
At the meeting of the Huntley Village Zoning Board of Appeals held last Tuesday, February 4, certain portions of land owned by Kenneth P. Bakley and Joan E. Bakley, his wife, were re-zoned from residential to business and commercial.
The land in. question lies on the northem edge of Huntley and was just taken into the Village at the January meeting of the Village Board.
Mr. Bakley and his attorney had originally asked for five separate classifications to be re-zoned as it was their inter-pretation that the Village wras operating under the new zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance in question has never been approved by the Vill¬ age Board and, therefore, Attor¬ ney Wells at this meeting asked that the petition be amended to conform" to the old zoning ordin¬ ance still in effect utaj^e Village.
The old ordinancevW four gen¬ eral sections: Residential, Com- noercial, light industry and heavy industry: tftfe hew ordinineei^-^jn the other hand, breaks down the residential and coo|^Krcial sec¬ tions into three sflHite classi¬ fications.
Mr. Bakley had originally asked that a portion of the triangular section lying between Route 47 and Zimmerman & Kahler's be re¬ zoned to B-3 and a section of land lying east of Route 47 be re-zoned CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE
